The two-time New York Times bestselling author, OG Vanderpump Rules star, and host of the successful chart-topping podcast Stassi is back and better than ever with a candid guide to rethinking the girlboss life, taking the pressure off, and lessons sheâs learned since becoming a mom of two.
Before she wrote Off with My Head, a book about hitting what felt like rock bottom, Stassi Schroeder was writing an entirely different story: a basic bitchâs guide on how to beâwait for itâa âgirlboss.â But then 2020 came along and after a global pandemic, losing her job, becoming pregnant and having her first child, and getting married, suddenly being a girlboss wasnât the vibe. Instead of giving up, Stassi grew up and learned from her mistakes (you know, just standard evolution).
After two and a half years in limbo, Stassi was ready to launch her career again. Sheâd come a long way from that temperamental Season One Stassi. Sheâd gained a new perspective on what she wants out of business, her career, and life: to carve a path for herself, on her terms. The thing is, all of this pressure to âhave it allâ while girlbossing it upâŚitâs exhausting, and Stassi isnât sure itâs the ticket to happiness that we all thought it was.
Thatâs truly what this book is about: the desire for joy. Itâs about accepting the fact that you may not be the âperfectâ parent/partner/friend/human at all times, and thatâs okay. Instead of letting mom guilt or work guilt get her down, Stassi is trying to learn and to encourage us all to take the pressure off, give ourselves grace, and lean into the things that bring happiness. And if you need a little sauvignon blanc or Aperol spritz to get you through the tough daysâŚso be it.
